We discuss the role of ergodicity and chaos for the validity of statistical laws. In particular we explore the basic aspects of chaotic systems (with emphasis on the finite-resolution) on systems composed of a huge number of particles.

In the framework of the information theory, entropy measures the level of disorder of a system or its uncertainty …. Varotsos et al. (2004) introduced the concept of entropy in natural time domain as a discriminating statistics. In this paper …, we analyzed the fluctuations of entropy, δS, of synthetic seismicity produced by an experimental stick–slip system in …

? Transfer of the exergy, i.e., consumption of free energy will keep the system away from a stable equilibrium. So entropy … irreversibility. The analysis developed in this paper points out that the principle of maximum of entropy generation and the least … can be related to the extremum entropy generation theorem. Irreversibility is the result of the interaction between …

A measure of redundancy inherent in the layouts of water distribution networks is developed using the Tsallis entropy … redundancy measure is applied to layouts reported in the literature and is compared with the Shannon entropy-based measure. Using … the values reported in the literature, it is shown that there is almost a one-to-one relation between the Shannon entropy …
